AlterIta`: Gabriele Paleari and Marco Varvello in conversation

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS IN ITALIAN

AlterItà : launch of Gabriele Paleari’s book. The author will be in conversation with Marco Varvello

Monday 29 June 2020, 6.30pm on Webex

AlterItà examines the indigenous cultures of Istria, Dalmatia, the Mouths of Cattaro and the Italian Grisons. The term ‘culture’ refers to expressions such as architecture, food, wine, literature, and languages. The book highlights tensions between cultural fragility and vitality by analysing photography, literary prose and case studies on the characteristics of each region. The idea of AlterItà, i.e. of ‘Italian’ cultural diversity, breaks away from the concepts of ‘nation’ and ‘Italianità’, which are often associated with the Italian Republic. The book helps raise awareness of the existence of such cultures, which are neglected for ideological reasons. Gabriele Paleari “ha dovuto affrontare le delicatissime problematiche teoriche sui concetti di Nazione, di Modernismo, di Simbolismo etnico, di Perennialismo, di Primordialismo, di Postmodernismo, per arrivare ad una definizione di quello che chiama AlterItà […] cimentandosi con le più recenti teorie culturali e concetti come margini, fragilità, vitalità, legami, simboli e memoria dei luoghi.” (Jean-Jacques Marchand, Professor Emeritus of Italian Literature, University of Lausanne).

 

Gabriele Paleari is Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University
